Subtle effects on die-cuts using eyeshadow 

I have numerous leaf dies as nature is one of my favorite kind of cards to make, especially in the fall. I am quite lucky to have a daughter who is a makeup artist so she gives me all of her used pallets. I often use them on my cards, but you’ve given me new ideas. I need to get busy!!! You are the very best and I so enjoy your “mutterings” to Siri along the way! Have a great week!

"Talk amongst yourselves." Love your sense of humor. Beautiful leaves!

Yes the blue looked more relaxing. I always do the thumbs up first before I’ve even watched the video, otherwise I always forget. Lovely card.

You mentioned "Tonic mat", well you are definitely my TONIC for the day,, with your sense of humor and lovely cards. ❤

The compund leaf segments are called leaflets! I had to look it up! So now you have assisted me in my general knowledge of the world...in addition to all manner of things cardmaking 😁. I am very grateful. And I just enjoy your company so much. Thanks, Chrissie 💛. Briana

Who knew I should have kept my eye shadows years and years ago. $Dollar tree here I come. Thank you again for the inspiration

You have such innovative ideas, and great tips for using your stash and everyday items to make simply beautiful cards. You have really inspired me- thank you! 😊

The ultimate in stretching our supplies - from face to craft room😍! I imagine blush would work too for those warm autumnal tones. I find it really interesting how much difference those little details that aren't really 'seen' make to a project. Have a lovely day with Mr Siri😜

Such an inventive technique. Those leaves are gorgeous 💕

I do so love your interactions with Siri they make laugh

I absolutely love watching your channel! Your work is stunning and your voice soothing.

Love those shiny leaves, your light on the craft mat is better.

Really beautiful. What a fun way to use up our old eye shadows! I can’t wait to try this. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. And I love the simple layout you use here for your card. Very beautiful results.

Hello Christine. Wonderful leaves ! Each added layer adds reality. Thank and good afternoon. Bye bye 👋👋👋👋

Beautiful Christine your cards are always so elegant, I have to say it does make me laugh when Siri interrupts 😂

I adore how you make use of everything. Can hardly wait to make some fall cards with this technique

Another gorgeous card. I do love your conversations with Mr Siri. You certainly let him know who’s boss. Thank you for another beautiful project. - Dawn 🌅

Well aren't you the clever one! Love your idea of eyeshadow. So perfect for your leaves. I will be asking my granddaughters to send their old stuff my way. Very pretty card!

Another fabulous technique to try! 💜. Love the idea of using eyeshadow.

I have those leaf dies and love them also. Great technique. Could watch your videos all day. 😊

It’s just too funny that during lockdown I cleaned everything and tossed all my old eye shadows! I’m off to the dollar store to restock!

Glitter hair spray would be ok for a certain season!😊

You have shown beautiful does not have to be expensive, lovely cards xx

Yes, the stamp is "Gorgeous Grunge" one of my favourites, I'll never miss. So useful! Thanks for the interesting video. Unfortunately I have no eyeshadows anywhere - I have to buy some! 😂

Gorgeous Grunge is one of my all time favorite sets - so happy to see you use it.

Oh my goodness, these are so gorgeous!! I love leaves!!! ❤❤❤

Christine, you are so very creative. Love your techniques. Glad I found you....tons of ideas and new things to try. Blessings to you!

When I've recovered from a binge session of your videos, I shall find a few of my SSS leaves and try this technique. Whilst at first the addition of a little something extra, does not appear to jump out and shout "look at me!", when I return to the original, the difference is remarkable. Each small extra layer completes the texture and tone, lifting the finished product to the next level. Ingenious!

Those eyeshadows are really very effective on your die cuts. Lovely video to watch. Beautiful make. Thank you Christine. x

WOW FIRST TO COMMENT I don't usually find this just after you post, checked Facebook and the finished cards are already up there and they look great and now I get to watch the How to..Thank you for sharing Christine

Thanks for sharing another stunning card using eye shadow to decorate die cuts. I did much better using VersaMark than glue but I am still not happy with the gilding flakes most of the time. So, I will keep trying. Your videos are always wonderful and you are a great teacher full of inspiration!!!

You know you are a crafter, when your old make up and hairspray, are automatically use for crafting. Great video. 😍💜🧚‍♀️😘Chris @ Dark Fairy

Die cuts are absolute magic in your hands! Those leaves are gorgeous! ❤

Thank you for the additional die cut enhancement ideas; love all the layers, which all add just that extra bit.

Christine, I so enjoy your videos!! You explain things so well!! I like to have different option!! When on a budget this helps so much!!

Love how the leaves turned out....I'm now on the lookout for some cheap eye shadows to have a go. 😊 lovely card.

Christine that’s even better lol. I wonder what you’ll come up with next with the eyeshadow. What a stunning card too. Forgot to say I like the new light and the mat. Very pleasing on the eye. Thanks as always for sharing.

Wow Christine, these are fab. Thanks so much. 🤐🇨🇦

Another great idea using versamark, much prefer it to the glue. Love how the leaves turned out and a beautiful card! Thank you and take care.

Beautiful card Chris. The leaf dies are very nice and a perfect size.

Hi Christine 🥰🙏 So pleased to see you're doing so much with the 👁️ shadows! Gorgeous 🍁🍂too! Love the video & cards you make & share! ❣️ LINDA from downUNDER 🦘🦘🦘🦘

Mr. Suri is making his presence know lately. LOL He gives me such a chuckle. Those leaves are gorgeous, the splatters make all the difference along with the eyeshadows and gilding wax at the end! and the card is gorgeous as well Christine! Those are pretty eye shadow colors. Hugs, Brenda

Lovely dies, and your finishing details are superb. Your creative ideas just seem to flow like magic! The Altenew die is Linear Crossroads, one of my favorites. For those who don't use hairspray, Krylon UV Resistant Clear Spray Gloss is an alternative.

You have such an eye for little details. Wonderful!

Allo Allo !! thank you for your inspiration 😁🌻

what a fantastic new way with eye shadow

Christine, sometimes there just are no words... Lovely! ❤ Hugs from Cheryl in AZ

Great technique and lots of laughs! ❤

Great ideas here. Who knew old eye shadows! Shame I didn’t go in for them back in the day. Plain Jane me.

Gorgeous! I did try eye shadow yesterday and was pleased with the result! So fun and thank you for your inspiration!😊

What a fabulous idea, so effective as well. You think some wonderful techniques Chris, I must try this. Thank you 😊

Lovely, lovely card!❤

Lovely technique, going to try some gold ones on my Christmas cards, love your card .

What a truly beautiful and effective technique. You are such a cardmaking genius...it's like alchemy ❤

Thank you for this new idea, I too have lots of old eyeshadows so I look forward to trying it out. Incidentally, inspired by you, I bought some gilding wax as you made it look so easy. Turns out it’s not as easy you made it look - mine was a real hot mess!Definitely much more practice required!

Hello Christine, I am following your channel and I am so excited. Your technique videos are excellent and I can learn so much from you. If a new video comes from you, I have to watch it immediately. A very thank to you from Germany, your big fan Conny

Beautiful leaves! Allergic to many eye shadows so I don't have any myself, might drop a hint to grandaughters. I now know what my sisters card in November will be, though. Thanks again, Christine ❤

The die you're using as the background texture, well I just ordered that this morning. ❤

Hi. Eye-opening stuff for sure, I'm loving the look of your eyeshadow leaves and I wish I hadn't Palm-ed off my old makeup that I couldn't give a Fig about before Yew showed this trick. Still, the Alder I get, the more Ash'll learn and I think that's all I have Fir now!😂 Thanks for sharing this great video and have a super start to your week. 😊

Thankyou Chris …I did have one of the leaves so I used another to go with it. Your card is gorgeous

Sorry my English is bad, bad I have to say, wonderful Video, wonderful idea,. I' m shure I will try it. Have a nica day Angela from Germany

LOVE this technique - thank you so much!

Unfortunately I only have eyeshadow in 50 shades of grey ! As I was a bit of a goth but definitely will be trying this cool technique . So glad it works with Versamark as don’t have either of the glues you used on previous video . I love leaves on male cards . Thanks Christine for your wonderful videos . Hope my hairspray still works after it being unused for several decades !

I love this technique!! Very pretty!

Love the background grid … so fine and worth all the kerfuffle of getting the bits out! I’ve used a similar scraping technique with chalk based pastels (for skies when colouring) and they also work very well. X

I am loving these eye shadow techniques, thank you. I haven’t done this in years but can’t wait to try it out again with your ideas.

Those leaves look so realistic. Will give this idea a go for sure! Fantastic video as usual.

Absolutely stunning ❤

Oh my. Amazing

Another Marvelous Creation👏🏼!!! Thanks for sharing Ms. Chrissie!!! I’d ♥️ to see the bleach technique you did on 1 of your cards you posted on your Instagram, if at all possible? Thanks Again.

I just got Some eyeshadow at the $ store…thank you

Don't possess eyeshadow, added it to my shopping list!! Fabulous result.

Beautiful effect!

Thank you, what a good idea!

I love your videos, your awesome creativity and your wonderful sense of humor. I truly LOL Everytime your 'man' breaks into the conversation. I've been wondering if you have ever tried using Sticky Specks or an equivalent for your finicky die cuts.

You always share such great ideas and techniques. And..you introduced Gummiapan to me. I preordered the 2023 Advent die calendar yesterday! Can preorder through Aug 15. 👍😎. Thanks for all you do to share your creativity and sweet spirit.

Very pretty! I am on the hunt for shimmery eyeshadows! TFS🌸🙏😎

thank you for the tip to scrape the eye shadow - SOOOO much more effective than brushing it on. Your way gives more colour depths and better colour shading too. by the way it makes also interesting results if you stamp a motive with versamark and then apply the eye shadow, also quite good for embossing

This is wonderful!! I can't wait to unpack and start doing these wonderful things you are showing. I don't like packing and moving, so thank you for giving me something to look forward to! ❤❤😊

❤️❤️❤️

I have some old eye shadows I can, but will try one of our Dollar stores for additional colors to play with. This card with the gorgeous leaves is breathtaking! Thank you for the video.

Love this Christine.....I have lots of eye shadow!

Beautiful and shiny! I admire your patience with those fiddly dies. 😁💖🙏🙌

These leaves look fabulous! Just in time for Autumn.

Excelente !!! Parabéns de Portugal 🇵🇹

Christine you amaze me as always! I have learned so much from you since I joined your channel and this technique is no exception. You are probably aware of this but mica is usually in most eyeshadows. Have you tried using Distress Wax to seal your eyeshadow masterpieces? Hoping to give this a go later today. Am going to experiment with using Distress Wax to seal these eyeshadow masterpieces and will let you know how that works. Thanks again from Union Bridge, Maryland, USA!

Another beautiful card Christine - I shall definitely give the eyeshadow technique a try. The effect is stunning💕

(O.D. 8:26) Oh, Christie! If I had access to your spray box liner, I’d make copies of it on my printer to use as backgrounds for some cards!! It’s really quite gorgeous!!

💜💜💜

Oh my goodness- I can’t believe you’re using your shimmer cubes for crafting! They are really sought after, no longer made eyeshadow 😂

♥️🍁🍂

Love This! what if you just use the brush directly into the eyeshadow pad instead of scraping some out?

Beautiful detail. Just elegant. Btw I just organized some of my Dies in document boxes. I think this will work well for me cuz they are easy to see and find. How do you organize your stamps?

I wonder what eye shadow would do on dark card stock? Hmmm

Heat gun and hairspray? Is that a good idea?

Could you tell me where you got the embossing folder with die cut butterfly

Another beautiful card. The name of the Altenew die is Linear Crossroads Die
